A Specimen.

EDITOR GAzETrE:-Much oracular wisdom
has been expended on Ministerial responsi-
bilIty of late Whether the oracles are all
inspired or not, of course am not prepared
to say. As am not much of an "arguher,"
permit me to give specimen of the genuine
article, that is, ministerial Responsibility
unmixed with any rubbish about the Legisla-
ture or the people, or any other of those up
starts who have come to the front recently
like clouds of mosquitoes to worry their
snperiors in rank, power and every other
quality except brains.
In the Legislature of the Hawaiian Islands,
on the oath day of September, and on the
afternoon of the same day, His Excellency
r. j. Creighton, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
rose in his place and proceeded with the
second reading of a bill to organize the mill
tary forces of the Kingdom. In answer to a
"howl'' from the opposition, about piling on
the expenses, the Minister solemnly assured
the House that it was not intended to add a
dollar to the expense or numbers of the mill
tary forces; that the sums neceser-y to cover
the expenses Lad already passed, and the
military bill meant simply to org anize and
svstematize the military organization.
This assurance was accepted as satisfac-
tory by the House, and thereupon the ''oppo-
sition'' who had almost monopoly of the

brains of the House, best their aid to get the
Act put through in decent shape.
On the 18th, the bill came back from !
special committee, and was passed to engress-
ment in short order
On the 1st of October, the Act was duly
reported signed by the King. Now here is
where the Ministerial responsibility came in.
The same Minister VINO, week before,
assured the House that the Act would not add
dollar to the expenses, rose again IN his
place and moved to insert an item, Military
and naval organization and staff as provided
by Act, S21 O00."
The GOODNESS with which the proposal was
uttered seemed to take the breath from the
members who we're out of the "by authority
ring.
The lie being hurled back in Eis Excel
lency's teeth by the deceived opposition, the
Minister, fully recognizing where his re
sponsibility" came in, swallowed it whole,
although not without evident effort. How
eyer, the Minister was asked later "if that
was the end of it, upon which he au-
nounced emphatically. that is the end of
1t" Like the first answer, referred to above,
the Minister for the moment forgot the
source of his Ministerial responsibility,
for on the 9th of October the valiant com
mander- in-chief of the legislative "by
authority" forces dictated a new item.
Military Engineer" $4,000.
The Minister was again reminded of his
assurance previously given, about the ST.
600 being the end of it," but he prudently
recollected where his Ministerial response
bility came in, and after having swallowed
the $4,000 fib, of course the $1,000 slipped
down easily enough.
Such was Ministerial responsibility,
but such it is not, and never more shall be in
this land, hence the lacbrymose wailings OF
the Bulletin irresponsible syndicate of con.
stitutional advisers. Yours,

The Value of Circumstap tial Evil
dence.

II will be unfortunate if, from
any cause, circumstantial evidence
becomes so discredited that jurymen
will decline to convict in all cases in
which direct testimony cannot be OBJ
tanned. One very regret table fact in
connection with the present condition
of the Bowers case is, that the de-
velopments now causing such wide
/ diversity of opinion are calculated for
long time to come to weaken that
confidence which ought to legitimately
attach to circumstantial evidence,
when its every link is complete and
uneXplainable upon any other hy-
pothesIs than the guilt of the accused.
The popular delusiOn to the contrary
Notwithstanding, it is true that cir
cumstantial evidence of that character
is the very best of evidence. The
direct testimony of an alleged eye
witness may easily be false, whereas it
is very difficult to make a whole
chain of circumstances lie. In that
view the best legal minds have always
concurred. The foulest murders are
too frequently committed in secret
with no human eye save that of the
murderer and of his victim. In such
cases tleIe CAL Dy no possibility De Ql-
rect testimony. Hence, the worst
criminals must go unwhipped of JUS
tice, and human life becomes more
unsafe than it is if eircumstantial evil
dence is not to be accorded its due
weight. 1t is these considerations
which render it so exceedingly neces-
sary that the circumstances should be
sifted thoroughly and to the utmost
completeness by acute but fair
minded men. If several important
links in the Bowers case had been
better welded together, as they could
have been, the present incertitude
would have been impossible. 1t is not
so much circumstantial evidence that
IS at fault as it is the weak, fhconclu-
sive and irrational way in which it is
handled. In saying this, however. we
must not be understood to imply that
Bowers was convicted on insufficient
testimony. We merely imply that
the circumstances conld have been
linked together with greater complete
ness.-[S. F. News Letter.

The new Marshal has received about two
hundred applications for place. A few facts
concerning the Office may not be out of place,
and advise our readers that there are no
"millions in il, either for the chief or those
under him. The e. S. Marshal receives a
salary of only 500 per year. He and his
deputies have to take their chances in fees
for bread and butter. Two deputies have
been able to do the business of the Office
The five bailiffs of the court get s. per dav
aud these are the only appointees Of the
Marshal who are paid by the Government.
Ii Is seen, therefore, that the Marshal has no
patronage to bestew, and the two hundred
applications for positions could only
be caused by erroneous notions of the
Importance of the office. Perry Bartholow,

wells heretofore called never failing have
gone dry, and the creeks are represented by
stagnant pools in the hollow places. At this

but that promise has of late been so often
broken to the hope that, until the heavens
shall open and the showers descend, there is
no faith in us.
